i think there is also another part involved in this because soooo many mythic systems talk about this "weight of the heart" thing, the egyptians put a cat headed goddess with scales in the task of this business - Maat is the name of her and if your heart weighs more than a feather then you go to the underworld - this is just the one i'm most familiar with
